Publix, Kroger Shoplifting Suspects Identified: Forsyth Sheriff

FORSYTH COUNTY, GA — The Forsyth County Sheriff's Office has reported that the public has helped identify the suspects in this case. They thanked the public on their Facebook page.

Original story:

The Forsyth County Sheriff's Office is asking for the public's help to identify two shoplifting suspects that they say swiped hundreds of dollars off supermarket shelves, Jan. 13.

The two men worked in concert together at the Publix, located at 5475 Bethlview Road, shoplifting $789 worth of Tide detergent, Pampers diapers and 3M air filters. They then went to two different Kroger’s located at 1595 Peachtree Pkwy and 3651 Peachtree Pkwy. The men stole the exact same items in the exact same manner from 3651 Peachtree Pkwy, but were disrupted at 1595 Peachtree Pkwy.

Forsyth County Sheriff Ron Freeman told WSB-TV the shoplifters are probably selling the items online.

“If they can steal $800 (worth of items) and make $300 in a day, that is a good day for a criminal,” he told WSB-TV.

After leaving the stores, the men were seen loading the items into a white in color late 80s to early 90s model pickup truck with a cap on the bed, according to the sheriff's office. A third suspect, not shown in the photo, has been identified and arrest warrants have been issued.

If you are able to identify the remaining two subjects, contact Detective Mike Downing at 678-513-5984 or by email at mjdowning@forsythco.com.
